Nebraska Vortex Intercept Team
May 17, 2000 Chase
We headed southeast to Alma, NE to intercept the rapidly building storm.  Rotation and structure were outstanding and we were greatly encouraged. 

As we rounded a curve we found ourselves stopping along with a line of other chasers (chaser convergence for sure!) for a long freight train to pass.

As we entered Alma, Ne, there were groups of chasers already there, and ready for photographing the small supercell approaching from the south.  The Wisconsin license plate on one of the vans read "F5HUNTR".
Commercial chase groups, as noted on this van from Wisconsin, were also evident throughout the area.
